and came again, but with not so much force,
and Mr.. Flowerdew succeeded in getting

got hold of this he had a little better show,
and commenced to pound the steer over the
head and nose This the steer stood and
suffered, but the minute the pounding

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper in
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence. In
its columns has always been found a mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for oh.
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habtable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theState, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are to he found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas
ing. That this is selfeyident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi-
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section OF country three tines
a week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj
7ertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.
